How Family Offices Invest in Direct Lending

In this episode, we explore why family offices are increasingly turning to direct lending as an alternative to traditional bank loans and private credit funds. Lucas and Luna break down a real-world case: a $50 million senior secured loan to a mid-market industrial manufacturer in the Midwest, originated and serviced by a single-family office. They discuss the attractive yield profile (8-12% target returns), the due diligence process, and the liquidity considerations that make direct lending a compelling but illiquid addition to a portfolio. The conversation also touches on how family offices compete with institutional lenders like Apollo and Ares, and why direct lending is particularly well-suited for patient capital with a long time horizon. #DirectLending #FamilyOffice #PrivateCredit #AlternativeInvestments #WealthManagement #Business #Finance #Lending #Yield #MidMarket #IlliquidAssets #PortfolioStrategy #CreditMarkets #InstitutionalInvesting #CapitalDeployment #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #GenerationalCapital Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
